Question

what is the measure of exterior angle x?
given angles: 37 and 42
shape: triangular

Answer 1

The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of any triangle is always 360 degrees.

Let's assume that x is the measure of the exterior angle.

Since the given angles are 37 and 42, the sum of these two angles is 37 + 42 = 79 degrees.

Now, we can find the measure of x by subtracting the sum of the given angles from 360:

x = 360 - 79 = 281 degrees.

Therefore, the measure of exterior angle x is 281 degrees.
